Nurse In The North

by Barbara Ancott-Johnson

hardback with dust jacket, published 1973. Dustjacket has small tear at top corner and some fraying. But overall book in very good condition. 

So many medical memoirs from the early half of the 1900s are dominated by men, it's interesting to see something written from a female perspective. As a district nurse in a remote area of Northland in 1940s, Barbara Ancott-Johnson, dealt with all kinds of situations - from stopping fights to birthing babies.
